The Kakatiya Urban Development Authority (KUDA) prepared the Master Plan, which includes land use zoning and general development promotion regulations. The process involved public consultations, inputs from technical review committees, and deliberations with district officials. The draft plan was notified in 2018, inviting objections and suggestions from the public over a 90-day period.

The KUDA vice-chairman has been directed to ensure that a copy of the master plan along with land use zoning and general development promotion regulations should be kept open for inspection at the KUDA Office and prominent places.

Although the draft master plan was approved by the Municipal Administration Department in March 2021, it was not approved by the government due to other reasons. Due to all these issues there were hurdles in obtaining permits for huge projects. With the approval of the government for the new master mega plan, there is an opportunity to overcome all these hurdles.
